It should be combined with the red mushroom for an ingredient for nausea potions. And isn't it odd how fermented spider eyes usually turn potions into bad potions but not Night Vision? I was expecting it to make night vision into blindness. But then again, blindness is very powerful.

This.
We need those two potions as well. Blindness and Nausea.

*flashback, in an old man's voice*
I remember back in the day when potions were just added. They had all sorts, with wayyyyy more than there are now. Nausea was AWEsomez fasdjkgh awxi *dies*

Anyway, I would really like all the potions to be added, nevertheless.

Some people really need to stay away from the government propaganda department. Let the brain-washing machines have a day off, they must need maintenance by now.

Ah, maybe it will give a debuff in a future update?
Or, it could be the type of thing like, getting no porkchops from a pig. Based on luck, you can get the potato, or if you're unlucky, the rotten one which is less useful.

PERHAPS: Poison Potatoes are a replacement for people who just have farms in their houses and only focus on improvement. PERHAPS: It just replaces nether wart for potions of haste, or possibly, only makes negative versions of potions, and THEN you add the spider eye to reverse it. Maybe when you hold the poison potato out, it makes zombies chase you from a further radius, or maybe you can throw it on the floor and they will completely disregard you and just surround it, a total copy from L4D2, but a cool thought. And another thing...can you PLANT a rotten Potato? Would it give you more Rotten Potatoes?

It seems kind of odd to add in an item with no particular function, when they could've just not added it. So logically there will be some purpose for it.
But Mojang have done this before. Slimeballs were added in with slimes but had no use for ages, until sticky pistons came along. Perhaps poisonous potatoes will have a similar fate?

Two words: Rotten. Flesh.

No purpose besides simply being an inferior version.
Also, from a design standpoint, another way to fine-tune the balance of potatoes. If potatoes prove slightly overpowered, it would be trivial to simply up the drop rate of poison potatoes. Avoid rage posts about potatoes getting nerfed, while actually nerfing them.
